The Man With A 14.5 Inch Tail.



Not sure where I should post this..Please move elsewhere if need be.


A man with a 14.5-inch tail growing from his back has been hailed as a God in India. Chandre Oraon, 35, was born with the wispy appendage, which locals believe signifies he is an incarnation of Hindu monkey God Hanuman. Worshipers also claim his ability to effortlessly climb trees is further proof of the divine similarities.

Many of his devotees travel hundreds of miles to queue up outside his house in Alipurduar, West Bengal, to seek blessings by touching his bushy tail. When not busy giving blessings, Chandre works as a tea picker on a local tea estate.

Looks more like a patch of hair that grows long...  I saw nothing that looked like a flesh appendage.

Yes, I would say that you are correct...

It is certainly not a tail that we would have expected I don't think like that of a animal such as a dog or cat.

But I have never seen anyone before with such long back hair , that does seem a bit unusual.

Isn't it amazing the genetic oddities that are walking around amongst us?

At the bottom of the hair is most likely a mole. Hair grows from them. At least in this part of the world.

Good catch Deuem, and if you will note that this is rather high on the back to be a "tail".

Yes, I thought it looked high for a tail too. But when I gave thought to how it would look if he was bent over, and walked with both hands and feet, then I thought it was pretty close to right.

I agree with you. Look at the darkened discoloration of his skin going around his side and to where the "Tail" comes out. Its probably a birthmark and or mole with hair growing out. Oddly enough people have moles and Birthmarks right in this spot of the body or lower.
Looks more like a Pony Tail then a tail.
